Meet Sonnet,
The sweetest, most playful kitten who will be receiving lifesaving saving surgery this week. Sonnet was born without a breastplate which is a big problem for a couple of reasons. First off, it makes her very delicate as nothing is protecting that area of her body. Worse still, her ribs are closing in around her lungs and heart which is causing them to become compressed. Sonnet is much smaller than her siblings due to this compression as she isn’t able to fully inflate her lungs. Sonnet will be receiving a highly specialized surgery which means a special veterinarian will need to come in and perform it. This life saving surgery will cost thousands of dollars. If you are able to support Sonnet by donating to IBKC, we would be so grateful! 🩷🐾

🐾 We're Looking for More Trappers! 🐾

One of the biggest challenges we face is responding quickly when someone reports a stray cat, a feral colony, or kittens living outside. The sooner we can get there, the better the outcome for the cats.

We're looking for a few dedicated volunteers who are interested in helping with trapping.

We provide the equipment and training, but we want to be upfront about what trapping actually involves:

• This isn't usually a one-time event. We will invest in training you how to trap properly. But in return we need a commitment that you aren't looking to trap once or twice and then no more. It's a lot of work on our end for volunteers to train you and we would need to know that you are interested in doing this in the long term.
• You may need to visit a location multiple times before the cats are caught.
• Trapping is often most successful early in the morning or late at night.
• There can be a lot of waiting involved.
• When kittens are reported, timing is important and we often need to react quickly.

That said, trapping can be incredibly rewarding. There is nothing quite like helping a nursing mom get safe, finding a litter of kittens that would otherwise grow up outside, or giving a feral cat the chance to be spayed or neutered and live a healthier life.

If you're patient, reliable, and willing to spend some time helping cats in our community, we'd love to hear from you.

Interested? Send us a message and tell us a little about yourself! ❤️🐱

Not every difficult decision has a villain.

In rescue, we see people at some of the hardest moments of their lives. We see families surrendering beloved pets because of illness, housing challenges, financial hardship, or circumstances they never imagined facing. We see people facing heartbreaking medical or behavioural decisions. We see grief, fear, guilt, and impossible choices.

From the outside, it can be easy to judge. But the truth is, we rarely know the full story.

Too often, we assume the worst. We fill in the blanks with our own experiences and beliefs. We decide what someone should have done without knowing what options they actually had.

Does that mean we excuse neglect or intentional harm? Absolutely not.

But people who are struggling. People who love their animals but have run out of resources, support, or alternatives. People trying to do the best they can in situations they never wanted to face.

Sometimes the most compassionate choice is also the most heartbreaking one.

We believe that leading with empathy helps more animals than leading with judgment. When we approach people with understanding instead of assumptions, we create opportunities to keep pets with their families, find solutions, and improve outcomes for everyone involved.

Because blame rarely helps animals.

Compassion does.

A Little Trapping Adventure… and a Big Win for One Feline Family! 🐾

We recently headed out to trap a mom and dad cat living outdoors. Mom was spayed right away, but during her surgery we discovered she was still nursing kittens. That changed our plans immediately.

As soon as she we finished with surgery, we released her back to her territory and followed her. Sure enough... she led us straight to her babies! 🎉

Look who came in today for a quick once over. These babies came into care very underweight. But we are definately on the right track and gaining nicely. Just a few more weeks of growing and we can get them up for adoption.

Barney update 💙

After his amputation surgery, Barney hit a bit of a bump in the road. He developed a fever that we just couldn’t seem to break, along with a few other complications, so he ended up staying in hospital for 4 days while we worked hard to get everything under control.

The good news is that Barney is now doing much better and is truly on the road to recovery. We are so relieved to finally see him feeling brighter and more comfortable.

Next up, Barney will be heading into foster care for about 3 weeks of rest, healing, and lots of love. If all continues to go well, we are hoping to post him for adoption after that. 🐾

PS: If you look closely, you can see all the scars on Barney’s body from surviving life on the streets. Despite everything he’s been through, he is still the sweetest boy. What a treasure. 💙

Thank you to everyone who has supported Barney so far. This sweet boy has been through so much already, but we think his best days are finally ahead of him.
